worker protections
Employee safety regulations
Worker protections are laws, regulations, and policies that safeguard employees from exploitation, unsafe conditions, and unfair treatment.
These include minimum wage requirements, limits on working hours, safety standards, anti-discrimination rules, and the right to organize.
The new legislation strengthened worker protections in the gig economy.
The term often appears in debates about labor rights versus business flexibility.
